Power Rankings
This week the Breakfast League had much debate about the future of our league and one trade in particular. But do not let that distract you from the fact that Kenny and I face off next week after he manually changed the order in which we play in hopes of him trying to beat me. Our overall record is something lie 8-1 in favor of the good ole boys of Team Suspension.
This week we see a few key games being played. Lincoln Riley’s Offense vs Calculated Madness. You see Calculated Madness was a team out of the gate I was worried about but they have hit a rough patch losing last week with only 44 points scored… Look to see Lincoln Riley’s Offense to keep on chugging with Pats defense that they somehow scored earlier in the season.
The other game I am most intrigued by is Turn Left and Goff vs. Crazy Train. Sean started the season hotter than snot but found an early season hiccup he is still trying to recover from. RJ and Turn Left and Goff look too head strong into Jared Goff’s bye week next week and hold out against the Crazy Train in hopes of locking in a playoff spot.

12. Eli… Please buddy… the season Isn’t over…
1. Team Suspension – Well this is my team and I don’t have much to say other than I keep on pulling off the W and while I would rank myself lower because each week, I get super nervous, a 7-0 stat line puts me up top.
2. Lincoln Riley’s Offense – The team I worry about most with the Patriots Defense determined to bring a somewhat struggling Tom Brady to the Super Bowl again keeps this team above Mr. Al himself. If Thielen comes back and can score like he was before the injury look for this team in the finals.
3. Turn Left and Goff – Saquon is back and I’m scared, I played this team early on and that might be the best thing to happen to me all season. Keep it up and sprint the finish with a tough one this week against Ethan that could either bring someone new into contention or cement yourself in the top 4 this is going to be a close one.
4. Punting is Winning – Well Al you said it last week that if you couldn’t beat me on my bye week then nobody could… My fear is that you spoke that one into existence. It was an off week last week when it mattered most, for that reason I dropped you one lower than the current ESPN projection, but I want to point out you still have the biggest position jump in the positive direction from your post draft projection.
5. Colorado Farmers – You play an undefeated Suspended team without the help of Lamar Jackson. Totally a possible victory here but will take a couple “booms” from DeShaun Watson and good ole Freeman to get the W. You are projected to lose this week, but I wouldn’t be too sure on that, this game is going to be close.
6. Calculated Madness – Another team that is only a few games out of those coveted T4 positioning in a league designed to build up those elite and let them duke it out before the remaining 8 teams. That is unless Kenny manages to make it to the play offs and give away all the money like we are some charity. Anyways, this team looks to overturn a dominant LRO and sneak their way into the top 4! Off to a slow start and an early deficit this team looks to Odell, Rodgers and a Questionable Julian Edleman to make up ground and pull of the W.
7. Crazy Train – Well Sean you won last week and need to do so against a very scary Saquon Barkley that seems to be back at full strength. Your keys to success being Brees and Mixon are promising but nerve-racking at the same time. “May the whatever something be in thou favor, win that thing and mix things up.” – Kaelan 2019
8. Kenny’s Miracle Boys – well well well, if it isn’t the flapjack himself. He drafted two defenses to start the year. Projected himself within the top 5 like usual and lost a lot to start the year… not to mention changing the order so he could fix his draft problems and try to beat me in week 9. Who let this guy win games? Oh wait… he actually has a good team and I’m scared for the game next week… Please Fantasy God’s let him win this week and lose next so he doesn’t get cocky again… sincerely and guy just trying to keep the streak going.
Well this is where I have to stop my whatever these are called because games start in 2 minutes, my mom just texted me and invited me to Panera for free food and I was rushed… Next time I promise to provide a much more in-depth breakdown of the matchups and more smack talk… I leave you all with this…
Win your games and you're in, lose and you're out… Aaron… what on earth were you thinking giving me Hilton and Hill… you almost got me burned at the stake…
Sincerely,
“A guy trying to make up for Kenny’s short comings”
